Primary 2 had a great day at their Ugly Bug Ball.

3D Bug Competition

Well done to all of Primary 2 for their wonderful entries into our 3D Bug Competition. Every single one of them was fantastic.

They were put on display in the hall for everyone to enjoy and P5, P6 and P7 all had a chance to vote for their favourite.

Everyone received a certificate and a small prize for their hard work and there was a bucket and spade set for the winner.

Enjoying some activity based playtime.

We have been learning how to tell the time to the hour and half past.

We had great fun playing in the snow.

We did a taste test. We tasted Granny Smith apples and Red Gala apples.

We described the Granny Smith apples as bitter and sour.

We described the Red Gala apples as sweet.

We are learning how important it is to brush our teeth properly and what foods are good and bad for our teeth.

Our Egg Experiment

We put the eggs into different drinks to see the impact that these might have on our teeth.

We are waiting patiently for the results.

The Results...

The egg in water stayed the same.

The egg in the coffee stained dark brown.

The egg in the juice decayed.

The egg in the coke stained brown and had a sugary coating over it.

What we learned....

The best drink for our teeth is water.

Too much coffee, coke and juice is not good for our teeth.

We are really enjoying all the topic based play stations.

Valentine's Day Craft

We enjoyed all the Pancake themed numeracy activities that Miss Roberts prepared for us. After working really hard at our sums we enjoyed some yummy pancakes with delicious toppings.

We are enjoying the animal hospital in the small world corner.

We have been practising spending money in the shop.

After all the hard work we enjoyed some nice, cold ice pops.

We did bubble painting.

We played the Umbrella Game.

We played in pairs.

The umbrellas had numbers 1-5 on them.

Whatever number we rolled on the dice was the number we had to colour in.

The first person to have their umbrella coloured in was the winner.

We dipped them in coffee to make them look real.

We made treasure chests out of egg cartons.
